Old school slow jams (poll-ish)

beatlesgirl25

You know how you'll go to look up one thing on YouTube, and then 3 hours later you're still watching old music videos? So that happened to me recently, and since then I've been on an early 90's R&B kick. Like "Weak" by SWV, "Back at One" by Brian McKnight, pretty much anything by Boyz II Men, "Vision of Love" by Mariah, that kind of stuff.

What old school slow jams still get you every time? Any that take you back to 9th-grade homecoming?

Ooh, good ones Missy! Going with the 80's theme, "Eternal Flame" was my favorite from back then.

Oh snap. I loved Eternal Flame.

haha "Too Close" by Next?

 "Lately"- Jodeci

I heard the Matchbox 20 song "Push" last night on the radio. I totally rocked out. Then "Semi-Charmed Life" by Third Eye Blind came on and FI and I could both recall the stages in our lives when we were listening to that CD. I still know every word of every song from that album.

Sigh, 9th grade was 6 years ago for me...

beatlesgirl25

Steph, I love that song!

"Anywhere" by 112
"Ex Factor" by Lauryn Hill
"Anytime, Anyplace" by Janet Jackson

beatlesgirl25

LC, "Push" always takes me back too. They did an acoustic version of it that was pretty sweet too.

Ok I'm old so mine would be

"With this Ring" by Shalimar
Journeys- Open Arms
Babe-Styx

Steph0871

ohhh Matchbox 20.

I'm also a fan of anything Howie Day, or Eagle Eye Cherry or Gin Blossoms. (I really could go on forever here.)

No worries, KD, and you're not old. Mine are spanning decades. I still think "I Only Have Eyes For You" by The Flamingos is one of the sexiest songs ever. And I wasn't even alive back then.

Actually I prefer Art Garfunkel's version, I used to roller skate to it.

My music taste ranges quite a bit. My MP3 has everything from Bobby Brown- Tender Rony. To Rebas- To make you love me. Oh and Toto's whole Toto album.

beatlesgirl25

Meg, I want to stand with you on a mountain, and bathe with you in the sea.

Steph, I met Eagle Eye Cherry (and I have a picture with him too). I saw him perform in Denver in '99 at a small venue, and afterward he came out the front and hung out with people. No one ever knows who he is when I tell the story nowadays. I'll try to find the pic to post, need to scan it first.

kd.joseph

I just downloaded "Dont Disturb this Groove by The System

3eb is my favorite band.

Celine Dion - It's All Coming Back = make out session with my 8th grade boyfriend under the rec center stage yeaaaaaaaaaah

beatlesgirl25

Haha, Tender Roni!! I love that song.

Okay, here's me with Eagle Eye Cherry in 1999. He was super cute in person and very nice. I'm on the left in the jacket and near-faded jeans.



ETA: Yes, the jeans make me look like I might have a penis. Cut me some slack, low-rise jeans had JUST started to come back and I didn't have any yet.

You're so cute!

When we were doing our wedding Ipod DH had to put a halt to my list, I had some really old ones.
I still have a DeBarge album. And I love Babyface. Johnny Gill, and I have a huge collection of single cassettes. Old R&B is my favorite.

beatlesgirl25

Ah, cassettes. Now you're really taking me back. Does anyone remember Tevin Campbell from 1992-ish? I used to have such a crush on him. And ABC (Another Bad Creation).

How awesomely dramatic. I feel like it's required to wear wispy clothes and have the wind blowing through your hair if you're gonna make out to that song.

Yes I have him on single cassette also. Now I'm drawing a blank, remind me of the song now.

I like to buy the Body and Soul collections on CD.

Well, I can't say that was quite the case, but there was a scrunchi on my wrist, a hemp necklace and copious amounts of glitter bonnebelle lipgloss/eyeshadow involved, just sayin'

Hmm, he sang a ballad called "Tell Me What You Want Me To Do" and some other stuff I can't remember right now. I just remember he was cute! Pretty sure he had the box top and fade going on.

Ooh, good collection! The BET Hits collections were pretty good too.

I used to love the BET channel.

Thats the song I have. I also remember a song by another group called the Kissing Game.Do you remember that one?

JennaV26

I actually just listened to my Off the Hook CD from 10th grade yesterday because I'm sick of everything else right now. Think...

Uh Huh - B2K
Video - India.Arie
Let's Stay Home Tonight - Joe
Raise Up - Petey Pablo
Bumpin' Me Against the Wall - Mystikal


I was so gangsta.

Ohhh I miss my glitter eyeshadows (but I do still stock up on Bonnebelle chapstick because it tastes so good)!! But everytime I think of scrunchies now I think of that Sex and the City episode. And side ponytails.
